Reflections

Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this, they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
(Mark 3:20-21)

Lord, your relatives thought you were out of your mind, I suppose because you didn’t set limits. Yet you knew how to go off to deserted places to pray. Still, when you appeared in public, you refused to send the crowds away. On an earlier occasion, you had to have a boat ready so as not to be crushed. Another time, the paralytic’s friends opened the roof to get to you. Your love and mercy have no bounds. Of all your children, little and grown, you say, “Let them come to me.”

I want to be out of my mind if that means entering into your will. Please help me to serve you even when I think I am too tired.
